Kennedy, Michael J.; Romig, John Elwood; VanUitert, Victoria J.; Rodgers, Wendy J. – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2020
There are multiple pathways for students with and without disabilities to learn new vocabulary terms. However, the number of empirically tested and validated multimedia options is surprisingly limited. In this study, researchers tested a commercially available app (InferCabulary) to evaluate the impact on vocabulary performance of fifth-grade…

Disbudak, Ozge; Akyuz, Didem – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2019
Concrete manipulatives and dynamic geometry software (DGS) are both commonly used for geometry education in elementary and middle schools. This study sets out to understand which of the two approaches was better in improving the conceptual understanding of quadrilaterals for fifth graders. A pre-/post-test design was conducted in which the same…

Jolicoeur, Karen; Berger, Dale E. – Educational Technology, 1988
This basic plan for implementing educational software in the classroom incorporates a research design for evaluating its effectiveness. A study of fifth grade classrooms using game and tutorial software for spelling and fractions is used as an example. Topics discussed include software selection, selecting groups of comparable ability, and use of…
